Then the automatic guns came and mass shootings began. How do you explain that?
The only one in which an automatic weapon was used that I can think of is the Valentine's Day Massacre. Although it wouldn't surprise me if MS-13 gang bangers illegally (didn't pay for BATF stamp) have full auto.
That is not a question, that is a statement, and I'm not going to "explain".
On another note, my dad knew Sam Nunn, and could have gotten me an appointment to the Naval Academy. I chose to enlist in the Marine Corps instead, and am still happy with that decision.
Mass shootings started when God and patriotism were removed from the schools.
The shooters are not using automatic guns. To purchase an automatic, you must be fingerprinted, pay a special class tax, and have it approved by the federal government. No, the shooters are either illegally modified guns or have really fast fingers and extra 30 round mags
“ Then the automatic guns came and mass shootings began. How do you explain that?”
“Automatic” firearms have existed since the late 18th century. They came into common use in the early 20th century. Prior to the passage of the NFA you could buy machine guns at the local hardware store.
So it’s clearly not the availability of automatic firearms that has caused the rise in so called miss shootings.
